1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The ring-assisted Mach-Zehnder interferometer (RA-MZI) has high sensitivity and fast optical response time, and it has been used as a label-free nanophotonic biosensor. Most RA-MZI-based biosensors, however, require chemical modification of the ring surface to immobilize biomolecules that can interact with target molecules for sensing. Here, we report a novel microfluidic-integrated RA-MZI (μFRA-MZI) where a microfluidic channel was fabricated right above the photonic ring resonator. μFRA-MZI allows for direct sample delivery to the RA-MZI without chemical modification of the ring surface and measures shifts in the resonance wavelength induced by the presence of target molecules, enabling label-free detection. In order to optimize the sensitivity of μFRA-MZI, seven devices were fabricated with varied design parameters, including the gap distance between the ring and the bus waveguide (G
